today i looked at my system logs (main auth.log) and found that there has been 6 ssh attempts on my computer none of which have got in

it would seem from the auth.log that they are using a dictionary mounted attack (god help them if there using John as that is use less still has not broken my password since LXF 71 was released). So im posting just to say check you auth.log see if there are any ssh connections to your box i dont know if these attacks are from a company/script kiddie or other
